[QUOTE="Benjamin Olson, post: 7982122, member: 6988941"] I think the main thing it adds, other than a group's personal taste and enthusiasm for one setting or another, is that it may be easier to find a group of newer players who are on a similar level of familiarity with Critical Role settings than one where people all know "the Realms". And if you are a newer DM with a veteran player or two it's a lot less likely that you are going to be corrected by them about setting lore because you haven't played it through multiple editions, and read the novels, and played the video games, and whatever. You might get similar crap from some die-hard Critter, but still the setting doesn't have the many years of materials; if you read the one book you probably know more than enough to be comfortable. Of course an experienced DM will probably just say some variation of "it's swell that you know that esoteric lore, but this is the way it is in our version of the setting", but most first-timers are not as ready to do that.
